pretty easy, first and second order linear was a breeze, power series solutions was a little hard at first but I got the hang of it, Laplace was easy too

Ok so the lottery is up to enough money that its finally worth it. All the smart people only play now so I am told

The problem is I keep getting such shitty numbers, like not even close

What can I do to pick better digits guys?

Why do engineers always get butthurt when you call yourself an engineer if you don't have a Bachelors in engineering and always respond with "muh licensure muh PE" even though PhysicistChads can do their job and 100 times better?

>Are these just dumbed down versions of the general courses?
Yes actually. Core engineering courses almost always focus on beating concepts into students rather than starting from first principles and doing rationalist construction or dialectical synthesis.
>Calculus for engineers
Almost never goes into sets, fields, groups, or rings. No engineering student I've met even knows measure theory. Professors would prefer teaching technique. Vector calculus and differential equations are almost always taught through the model of some system.
>Physics for engineers
Disgustingly materialist. Never touched quantum mechanics. Always macro scale experiments with some section talking about uncertainty. Students almost never touch Hamiltonian mechanics.
>Chemistry for engineers
Another disgustingly materialist course which prefers physically measuring and mixing chemicals rather than rationalist construction. Many chemical engineers still measure actual yield over theoretical yield which goes to show how useless engineers actually are

cholesterol is a macro phenomenon.

This is actually an important question to answer because cows cause a lot of environmental problems and people really should be reducing its consumption and adding an egg to the plate instead.
An egg added to a meal should be more common, whether it’s beef, chicken or fish.

Eurofag here learning mathematics on my own, on 6th grade geometry now. My question is, since I'm learning on my own, sometimes I need feedback on the work I've done to know I've solved/worked properly, where should I look for it? Should I just look for a tutor? AI? Here? Let me know.

Khan Academy is good for self assessment. KA has interactive exercises that offer immediate, specific feedback. There's no problem if you skip their videos and use your textbooks. You will learn to use textbooks better if KA exercises force you to do so

The vast majority of my professors suck and so do their lectures. I've learned almost everything on my own from textbooks. I should agree with

At an early stage I grew lazy because I didn't feel challenged. When I went to study for one semester in a bigger university as a exchange student, I find myself really motivated and productive after encountering with many other people who were seriously committed in their education and I could compete with (in a healthy way, of course).

Later, I could get a good source of feedback and support from math communities (those which are willing to help you and are not a mere circlejerk). You could find those communities on Discord, Reddit and Telegram. I encourage you to look for them.

Thank you everyone for you feedback, you're very nice. <3

I just found out that eggs cause hard plaque build up especially in the carotid artery and that it's close to just as bad to smoking cigarettes. The problem is I have been drinking a dozen eggs a day for 6 months as an easy source of protein as I go to the gym. How fucked am I? How bad did I fuck up? On the weekends I'd cook them and add a bunch of cheddar cheese on top for extra protein. This is so bad...

I think if I ask you to bring 5 examples, you'll fail. Some tech, like thinsulate did indeed come from NASA to regular market. Also some explosives. Maybe those stupid convertiplanes will do.

But the shit with military is that they want robust and dumb solutions at big scale. And they are not limited in money. It's not always goes well with innovation. For example civic airplanes are much more fuel-efficient then military. FPV drones was initially developed for fun races (while military was making bullshit like Black Hornet). Commercial DJI Mavic is used for reconnaissance.

The internet is proof that we are able to build an artificial consciousness. All data and all memories are shared in the cloud. Any machine connected to this cloud is able to fetch whatever data whenever it wants from it.
Through this cloud we can also remotely communicate. We are only restricted by the speed we type our messages in, but the machines send this info to the receiver almost instantaneously.
Internet of Things is the collective unconscious of the machines. The machines are able to interact with each other without the need for an external command prompt (i.e. a human telling the machine to notice another machine or transmit data to it). Botnet might sound like a familiar concept.
The transhumanists are building this same collective unconscious for humans - the Internet of Bodies. The usual suspects are to blame.

"Covid" was the catalyst for the IoB. It was all planned from the get-go and the vaccine was always the reason for this event. The vaccine is known to contain nanographeneoxide (NGO), which is able to interact with electromagnetic fields (EMF). Just type those two words into Scholar and you'll find quite a lot of papers about it. Remember when the 5G and microchip "conspiracies" first surfaced? It was the earlier days of the pandemic, before April 2020 iirc. This is all planned by them. They want to ridicule the whole concept with over blown lies (i.e. there is an physical chip in the vaxx, 5G causes covid etc.) in order to discredit the whole premise. But there is also a pinch of truth in every lie.
The NGO is the chip which can be manipulated with correct 5G frequencies. Reddits favorite - Elon Musk - is building the 5G satellite network, which will cover the entirety of the world, no blind spots. The bi-yearly boosters are to ensure that you don't get overblown effects by too much NGO injected in a short span. It needs to settle to different organs, but most importantly the brain.

>(i.e. there is an physical chip in the vaxx, 5G causes covid etc.)
That was the most obvious case of "poisoning the well" just so they can lump it in with other sincere investigation for the purpose of discrediting opposing voices.

on the topic of plasma physics, i've come to believe that all of those "UFOs" that the US military has been showing us are not actually physical flying vehicles but balls of plasma, if the laser induced plasma effect that the military has been working on is anything to go by

i learned earlier this year that DARPA and the DOD has departments within top universities, which is why people like robert hellwarth and zach dutton (current vice president at raytheon) were able to come up with breakthroughs in technology that somehow never appeared to enter the mainstream
